<h1>CLASSIC NOVEL or VIDEO GAME, THAT IS THE QUESTION</h1>
<p class="First">Do you think you know your games from your literature? Your Sonics from your Scrooges? Your Mario Brothers from your Brothers Karamazov? If so, we've got just the quiz for you.</p>
<p class="Body">What follows are ten excerpts, taken from contemporary reviews of either classic 1800s literature or video games. It’s your job to tell which is which. Sound easy? Well, not so fast Johnny Mastermind – there's a catch.</p>
<p class="Body">In some situations, the reviewers have somewhat given the game away by referring to, for example, "the book", or "the video game". In such situations, we've inserted an additional word to obfuscate the answer. So, where it would have said “the novel”, it now reads "the [NOVEL/VIDEO GAME]". Got it? Okay.</p>

<h2>Quote #2</h2>

<p class="Quote">"Okay, there’s a lot of other things I’d like to say about this [BOOK/GAME], but I think you’ve probably got the basic idea by now. The one warning that I would offer up is to hard-core [ROMANCE/ACTION] fans who may be put off by the [SOCIAL CLASS/RPG] elements that make this [BOOK/GAME] what it is. In the end though, I would recommend this title for just about anyone who’s over the age of 16 (this [BOOK/GAME] is really [SCARY/STEAMY]) and who likes deep rich play adventures."</p>

<h2>Quote #3</h2>
<div class="Break"></div>
<p class="Quote">"The [SHERLOCK HOLMES/TONY HAWK] series has always had style. The first [BOOK/GAME] reinvented a genre and set off a series of clones and pretenders that still flood the market today. The second game refined the formula, but its higher level of difficulty and steeper learning curve turned off casual [READERS/PLAYERS]. [THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES/TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER 3] brings it all together in one package that makes everything before it almost [UNREADABLE/UNPLAYABLE] by comparison."</p>

<p class="Quote">"Overall [MOBY DICK/THE WIND WAKER] is a huge achievement in every way, a must have title for your [GAMECUBE/NORMAL] library.
